Allen Sheffield, El PasoMember Since February 2009Artist Statement I am a retired university lecturer by vocation, but I am a photographer, writer, and very occasional voice talent by avocation.

My wife and I love to travel - usually pulling our little camper, but we made trips to Machu Picchu and The Galapagos in 2007, and 2 weeks driving in England to start 2008. For a retirement reward to ourselves in early June 2012, we spent two weeks in France. We started in Nice and then took a week long cruise up the Rhone River before spending just a few days in Paris.

In January 2014, we spent a fantastic week on the Amazon River above Iquitos, Peru.

I have been taking pictures for over 50 years, so I have quite a variety of images. Check my website if you are interested in some old pix.
